This is now the third build off this model has been entered in and I am sure I can do it this time.
Having been busy with that thing we call "making a living" I have had little or no time to get back into finishing the Bee Bug, but I am sure that over the course of this year it will be completed.

Ok so finally I have started to put the Bee bug together.
I have decided to keep all dimensions the same as the original control line version.

For power I am going to use electric (still to decide what size as I have a few to chose from) with aileron and elevator control.

I finished off the leading edge, trailing edge in front of the ailerons was installed, wing tips glued on and wing sanded.
Then I cut the ailerons out of the wing, now all I need to do is fill the ailerons leading edge with wood and sand them.

Go to it Lionel; I am looking forward to seeing the result; I had two Bee Bugs back in the day, one with the recommended E.D. Bee, which was - OK, and one with a Frog 150 which was terrific, although it took a bit of keeping up with!

Ok, now that work life has got a little less hectic, I decided I MUST finish the Bee Bug off.

I got all the pieces out and guess what............................ one aileron is missing, and for the life of me I cannot find it. Only thing to do is make a new one, so I found a piece of scrap wood and sanded it down to match.

So now that there is only a couple of days left I decided that I must finish the Bee Bug.

A few hours of work produced something that almost looks like an aeroplane.

I now need to cover the wings, dope the fuselage and tail feathers and spray, I must also test the motor to make sure it works as it has been lying around in a box and the wires pulled out but dont look to be broken.

Here are some pics of what has happened in "LAST MINUTE SMITH'S " workshop in the past couple of days.

The weather does not look good for the foreseeable future for a test flight but I might get lucky as the weather has been changing on an hourly basis here at the moment.
